REST Based Web Services Development with JAX-RS

Java API for XML – Restful web services (JAX–RS) is the standard specification for developing REST web services.

JAX-RS uses annotations to simplify the development and deployment of web service clients and endpoints. Important JAX-RS annotations can be used @ http://javajee.com/important-jax-rs-annotations.

 

JAX-RS Implementations

  • Apache CXF, an open source Web service framework

  • Jersey, the reference implementation from Sun (now Oracle)

  • RESTeasy, JBoss's implementation

  • Restlet

  • Apache Wink, Apache Software Foundation Incubator project, the server module implements JAX-RS

Since all these implementations are based on the JAX-RS API, you can easily switch to another implementation anytime.

 

More About Jersey

Jersey is a popular JAX-RS implementation. Jersey is the open source, production quality, JAX-RS (JSR 311) Reference Implementation for building RESTful Web services.

You can download JAX-RS from Jersy Homepage at jersey.java.net.

In addition to being the Reference Implementation, Jersey also provides an API so that developers may extend Jersey to suit their needs.
